## Overview

This package implements the Augmented Synthetic Control Method (ASCM).

For a more detailed description of the main functionality check out:

- [the vignette for simultaneous adoption](https://github.com/ebenmichael/augsynth/blob/master/vignettes/singlesynth-vignette.md)

- [the vignette for staggered adoption](https://github.com/ebenmichael/augsynth/blob/master/vignettes/multisynth-vignette.md)

## Installation

To install this package, first ensure that `devtools` is installed with

```

install.packages("devtools")

```

then install the package from GitHub with

```

devtools::install_github("ebenmichael/augsynth")

```

## Basic usage

To get started, use a panel dataset with an `outcome` measure, a `treatment` indicator, a `unit` indicator, a `time` variable, and an intervention time `t_int`. Then run

```

asyn <- augsynth(outcome ~ trt, unit, time, t_int, data)

```
